I don’t think this counts, because it is a spoof (and a really, really good one at that).

YES! Such a good cult classic candidate.

I’ve only seen the clip, so I’m curious, is that how it played out in the show? The clip alone is edited together, so there are pieces of the discussion missing. The clip definitely makes it seem like he is interrupting, but I can’t tell if its the editing or not.

Great story. Don’t even need to throw trash in an outhouse though. They’ll just straight up eat shit. I’ve seen a bear dig a hole under an outhouse deep in the Alaskan backcountry.

Yeah, the not cooking by camp thing is as important as anything. A mistake I see a lot of backcountry hikers make and I’m surprised it isn’t mentioned here.

The thing with any wildlife you encounter is that they have to weigh not only the danger in attacking another large mammal for food, but also the caloric expenditure. For most, it isn’t worth dealing with humans.

That would be disastrous. For one thing, why wouldn’t the bear take the “easy” food and the difficult food. For another, the idea is that if they associate humans with easily accessible food, they venture further and further into civilization (or at least established campgrounds/commonly visited areas).

I too have witnessed a bear shitting in the woods. He locked eyes with me while doing it and had an expression that said “you... are my next shit”.

They know where they food is and have no problem getting into cars.

Not neccessarily... if there is any sort of extrusion, the bear can just tear it off. I mean, they can rip the shit out of cars (without even smashing the windows - google it). The idea is to create something sturdy that they can’t get their claws or teeth into. Plus weight is an issue in making anything people will…

That’s the kind I have (though black). The recessed lid seems like it would make it a bit more difficult than the ones mentioned above.

And here I thought everyone was telling me I was “A-OK” in Paris.

There’s been a few little things here and there, but the most expensive was a slingbox when they first came out. And I didn’t even have a TV.

This (and the polio one) were the two I missed. I was thinking that it takes longer to boil at higher altitudes and parlayed that into thinking the temperature had to be higher. Cause, you know, when I’m camping at 8,000’ and boiling water, I have to crank the Jet Boil waaaay up.

I totally blanked on who Marie Curie was and chose her. History/names were never my strong suit.

Yeah, and a lot of those caves are rapidly deteriorating from human interaction. Caves are rather delicate, closed off systems that can’t adequately handle lifeforms like us.

I think its from that awful movie The Core, but I could be wrong.

This can’t be real. Is this real? The fact that I’m uncertain says everything you need to know about Boston and the Pats.

+1 for your kinja handle. <3

Eroded rock. Case closed.
